Former Chicago mayor lists Denver among violent cities

Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley told The Denver Post during a Wednesday visit that cities like Denver, Chicago and Los Angeles continue to make America look like a violent place.

Daley, who served as Mayor of Chicago for 22 years, was in Denver with the Global Cities Initiative talking about how metro areas can compete in a global market.

"When you go around the world, they view us, as a whole — Denver, Chicago, L.A., Miami, Houston and Seattle — as a much more violent society," Daley said. "The rest of the world is wondering as a civilized society why are we so entrenched in guns."

Colorado Democrats were able to pass some of the strictest gun laws in the U.S. during the spring legislative session.
